1therS In the secret, Know full wen thai
q frm adherence to the plan laid out
would have saved US from the gsllows.
Even If it should not have done SO, what
then? Now, Judge McAllister, if the re-
port of the s'Plunderer" is true,
says that in the event OF our
execution the ST stocracy-those monop-
olists, those powerful capitalists, will In
few years see all they possess 60 up IN
smoke, in fame. Now, who is this Judge
McAllister? 4 bourgeois OF the most no
BILE mien. Shall again tell you OF the
terrible plight we are in? Shall also al
Jude to our former condition and how
true to our revolutionary training we
sgitated not alone by speech, by writing,
but by deed. But then you KIN W 1t IS
wise as we'll as true saying to trust no
one. You know also that cannot handle
other subjects as well as this one. My
hatred of the system which brings ABOUT
the present condition OF the WORKING
people, and which can well say without
egotism my disinterested love for the
cause of freedom has kept me in every
instance not alone
FROM BEGGING FOR MERCY,
but il has enabled me to remain nrm anu
demand nothing but simply justice. IL
was for these reasons that L, as well SIS Far
sons, Engel and Fischer, Were compelled
to resist the pleadings Of our smLesty
committee and refuse to sign the petl-
ton they presented. REALIZING that IN
less 1 stultify my principles l can not
| escape the grim monster, L now calmly
face death, and In view OF the results
that it will bring about in favor OF
anarchism, look to my taffing off with no
Hnnvu fnli oil
as do. and every other true anarchist
know that we have greater enemy than
death to face, and that is the so called
upper class OF the present day, and to
| overcome whom we, to be true to our
training, must be willing not only to sac
rifce our liberty, but to give up our
| lives. l have always treated the propa-
gauda of deeds in the abstract. l realize
that those who have amassed fortunes
and thus become capitalists are not alone
the masters Of my fellow workmen, but
also their oppressors and murderers. !
know also that unless the laboriug people
get their rights by means Ct legisla
ion that the day is not fal
distant when the awful conse.
quences of this continuous persecution OF
the proletarist will be manifested, snC
buHb all hnO hoob AIAS0AS@ AA
follow such state Of affairs, will be 9
reality.
That the continuous aggregation o.
capital caused by the production of ma
terisl does not better the
CONDITION OF THE WORKING CLASSES,
does notsrequire any wonderful degree O.
intellect to comprehend. To the con
trary, it tends to continuous degenera
h,& YornnSnen6A n
the deed our best interests can be served
and the condition of the workingmaI
bettered, has been fully proved by the
events CT the past two years, during
which time we have openly taught GU
masters that class distinction, brough
about by their irstrumentality is not the
best fer all concerned. In view of all tht
facts in the case, NATURALLY ind that, des
pite the fact that phila nthropists are try
ing to induce me not to invite the fat'
that overshsdoWs me, that it is bound II
come, for the authorities are determined
though they know that I am notrespon
sble for the throwing OF the bomb-tt
make me pay the penalty for this deed
Now it is very likely that carrying out o
our sentence, which will be nothing NOR
or less than murder, will result IN tn
oveTthrowiug of tyrants.
Now, dearest citizen, l will bring thi
writing, which has been done under grea
difficulties, to close. You can see by
glance at the manuscript that my facilitie
as we'll as the light were not Of the yer,
best. II you viii have this screed trsnslat
ed and made public in both languages, ssyol
will not alone enable me to make known
the position 1 occupy in regard to al
the matters trested in this letter, bu
you will also fulfil the lsst wish that
shsu ever express to you.
Now, with q last and earnest farewell
to sill friends and comrades, and wit
, final wishes for their prosperity, close
In view of the certainty that shsll neve
have the chance of seeing you again, N
beloved comrsde, with an earnest an
{ hearty wish for your future success 1
life. Your comrade, hoch die anarchie.
LOUIS LINaG.
